Alright, it had been far from a smart idea, but who could have come up with anything better in their situation? Sure, love may sound like a really mushy thing at first, but when you find out your soulmate is the one person you'd never expect it to be, it's natural to have mild - okay, maybe not mild - panic set in.
At least, that's what Lucy kept telling herself. As much as she would have loved to blame this on Rogue and his weird Dragon Slayer magic, she couldn't dispute the fact she was attracted to the guy. Or perhaps even falling in love with him.
And that was not even the worst part. The worst part was the secrecy, the sneaking around, and the lying. At first, it had been because their guilds couldn't be in a room together for more for longer than two minutes before going at each others' throats.
However, in the weeks after the Grand Magic Games, it had gotten worse. Even though Fairy Tail and Sabertooth had buried the hatchet, they still hadn't told anyone.
Lucy said it was because she didn't want Erza to tear Rogue to bits, Rogue said it was because he didn't want Minerva to tear Lucy to bits, and both were terrified of Mirajane and the stalking that would certainly occur as soon as news got out.
The real reason though? They were afraid of the betrayal in their friends' eyes, just because they'd kept something so big so secret for so long. And as time went by, it only got harder and harder to tell them.
So that leads us to the current predicament: the two secret mates sneaking around and making secret plans, Lisanna's slight jealousy toward Lucy and Natsu, Natsu and Gray trying to decide who is the better mage once and for all, Mirajane plotting to make her favorite couples finally get together while Yukino and Levy join forces to figure out what the hell is the source of all this madness.
A/N: Thanks for reading! Please tell me what you think of this prologue/introduction to the story. Is it good, bad, great, terrible? All opinions matter a lot to me and I love to hear what people think of my work. I try to proofread everything, but since I write these things on an iPad, I apologize in advance for any weird mistakes - autocorrect hates me! Oh, and don't forget to drop a favorite and/or a follow if you enjoyed!
